  1. THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM Chapter 16

  2. OVERVIEW • Group of unimpressive, discontinuous organs • Coordinates and integrates body activity through the use of hormones produced in ductless glands

  3. Differs from nervous system because its work is strictly chemical • Exocrine glands use ducts to deliver their secretions

  4. Organs • Pineal, hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, adrenal, pancreas, testis, ovary, placenta, tumors, cells within the digestive tract, heart, kidney, etc.

  6. tropic hormones hypothalamus thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) antidiuretic hormone (ADH) posterior pituitary Thyroid gland anterior pituitary Kidney tubules adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) oxytocin Muscles of uterus gonadotropic hormones: follicle- stimulating hormone (FSH) & luteinizing hormone (LH) melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) growth hormone (GH) prolactin (PRL) Adrenal cortex Melanocyte in amphibian Mammary glands in mammals Bone and muscle Ovary Testis

  7. Hormones • Chemicals released into extracellular fluids that regulate metabolic functions of other cells • Ex: growth, development, metabolism immune response, electrolyte & water balance, blood pressure, RBC production

  8. Hormones fall into one of 2 categories: • Amino-acid based – most hormones in this category; ex: thyroxine, insulin, melatonin, ADH, etc. • Steroid- (cholesterol based) ex: sex hormones (estrogen, FSH, LH, testosterone), aldosterone

  9. Function by binding to and influencing activity of a target cell (cell containing receptors for that hormone); ex: most body cells have receptors for human growth hormone and thyroxine • Provoke a secondary messenger activity OR • Directly influence DNA activity of the cell

  10. Once bound, hormones: • Change plasma membrane permeability • Promote production of regulatory molecules; enzymes • Activate or deactivate enzymes • Induce secretory activity of the cell

  11. Control is by feedback mechanism • Ex: Negative Feedback • Gland is stimulated due to low levels of hormone • Hormone is released • Hormone levels increase in bloodstream • Increased levels deactivate gland

  13. Nervous System Control Feedback high low Controlling Body Temperature nerve signals brain sweat dilates surfaceblood vessels body temperature brain constricts surfaceblood vessels shiver nerve signals

  17. Feedback corpusluteum ovary yes no Female reproductive cycle eggmatures & is released(ovulation) builds up uterus lining estrogen progesterone fertilized egg FSH & LH maintainsuterus lining HCG pregnancy progesterone GnRH corpus luteum breaks down progesterone drops = menstruation maintainsuterus lining hypothalamus

  18. Control falls into one of 3 categories: • Hormonal stimuli – Ex: FSH from pituitary stimulates ovary to release progesterone and estrogen; this in turn shuts down FSH = rhythm

  19. Humoral stimuli – Ex: blood sugar levels stimulate pancreas to release insulin; this lowers sugar levels which in turn reduces insulin production

  20. Neural stimuli – Ex: stress triggers adrenal gland to release adrenaline

  21. Organs/Hormones • Anterior Pituitary – HGH, TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH, PRL • Hypothalamus – oxytocin, ADH • Thyroid – thyroxine, calcitonin • Parathyroid – PTH

  22. Adrenal – glucocorticoids, androgens, aldosterone, adrenaline • Pancreas – insulin, glucagon • Gonads – testosterone, estrogen, progesterone • Pineal – melatonin • Thymus – thymopoietin, thymosin

  23. Goiter Iodine deficiency causes thyroid to enlarge as it tries to produce thyroxine
